Trivia
In March of 1921, the Twelfth Cavalry Regiment voted to form a country club which became the San Felipe Country Club. The San Felipe Country Club included a nine-hole golf course that is located on the San Felipe Springs. This was the first course built by John Bredemus who went on to design many notable courses such as the Colonial in Fort Worth, TX. In 2016, the City of Del Rio took over the golf course and renamed it to the San Felipe Springs Golf Course.

Goofs
American flag with fifty stars shown in two scenes early in the movie. This story happened in 1956, when the U.S. flag only had 48 stars, as Hawaii and Alaska did not become states until 1959.

Quotes
JB Peña: The best golfer isn't the one with the fanciest clubs or the nicest shoes or any of that stuff. It's the one who can summon the will to keep swinging when things get tough.

rock solid underdog movie

For as long as there have been movies, the "underdog" niche has been popular. What's not to like about watching someone (or someones) come from behind to show the rest of us that, in the right circumstances, anything is possible? Golf might seem at first like a poor fit for this category, but of course the real story is about discrimination. It works. Jay Hernandez is the glue that keeps the attention of the audience, and he basically steals every scene not otherwise nailed down. Quaid has recently started a "second career" as an older actor playing older parts. And he is good in all of them. The 1950s are a welcome distraction for viewers in an age where modern and now both seem somehow inauthentic and wrong. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
